Answer:
b = 71 m
A = 83°
C = 29°
Step-by-step explanation:
Many calculators can solve triangles. Apps are available for phone and tablet, or on the internet, like the one used here. In general, it takes less time to use one of these than to type your question into Brainly.
Given two sides and the angle between them, the Law of Cosines is the appropriate relation to use for finding the third side.
b = √(a² +c² -2ac·cos(B))
b = √(76² +37² -2·76·37·cos(67.75°)) ≈ √5015.48
b ≈ 70.82005 ≈ 71 . . . meters
__
One a side and its opposite angle are known, the remaining angles are found using the Law of Sines.
sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b
A = arcsin(a·sin(B)/b) = arcsin(76·sin(67.75°)/70.82005) ≈ 83.33°
A ≈ 83°
C = arcsin(37·sin(67.75°)/70.82005) ≈ 28.92°
C ≈ 29°
Or, you can find the remaining angle from 180° -68° -83° = 29°.
